Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig, Table Saw. Materials: Plywood, 3/4", 4x8 sheet
On the outsides of the sides and top/bottom pieces, drill 3/4" pocket holes along the front edges — these will be covered by neighboring cabinets or, on an end cabinet, by matching finished plywood. Then, working from the outsides, drill 3/4" pocket holes on each end of the top and bottom and attach to the sides with 1-1/4" pocket screws and glue.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x4, 4 ft
Drill 3/4" pocket holes along the top edge and ends of the back-top support piece and attach it inset at the back of the carcass — this is what the cabinet actually hangs from, so make sure it's solidly fastened to both sides. Add a second support strip at the base if you're planning to store anything heavier than light boxes.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: Plywood, 1/4", 4x8 sheet
The back is not structural here — it only closes in the cabinet's interior — so attach it with 3/4" finish nails and glue rather than pocket screws.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x2, 8 ft, Pine, 1x3, 4 ft
Build the face frame as a separate assembly on the bench, then attach the completed frame to the front of the cabinet.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Cabinet door, full overlay, Concealed overlay hinges, 1-1/4"
Install the two full-overlay doors with concealed overlay hinges sized for a 1-1/4" overlay.
